More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Hopeless heart that thrives on paradox that longs for the beloved and is secretly relieved when the beloved is not there.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't read reviews because by then it's too late - whatever anyone says, the book won't change. It is written.
Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
Jeanette Winterson
I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.

Tell me the story, Pew. . . . It was a woman. You always say that. There's always a woman somewhere, child a princess, a witch, a stepmother, a mermaid, a fairy godmother, or one as wicked as she is beautiful, or as beautiful as she is good. Is that the complete list? Then there is the woman you love. Who's she? That's another story.
Jeanette Winterson
You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It’s the playing that’s irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things you love, what you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
I have met a great many people on their way towards God and I wonder why they have chosen to look for him rather than themselves.
Jeanette Winterson
The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calendar, the wrinkles and lines of the body.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't know which is worse: to be wrongfully accused or mistakenly understood.
Jeanette Winterson
I used to think marriage was a plate-glass window just begging for a brick.
Jeanette Winterson
When a woman gives birth her waters break and she pours out the child and the child runs free.
Jeanette Winterson
I have noticed that doing the sensible thing is only a good idea when the decision is quite small. For the life-changing things, you must risk it.
Jeanette Winterson
I am not tempted by God but I love his trappings.
Jeanette Winterson
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
[Fiction and poetry] are medicines, they're doses, and they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.
Jeanette Winterson
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
Jeanette Winterson
